Guest Reviews
- Jean Pierre (8/5): -
- Jana (9/5): Un lindo y tranquilo hostel - Lindo patio, muchos baños y bastante espacio en la habitación. Todo muy limpio (baños y cocina). El Poblado es muy turístico y hay mucha joda pero en el hostel era bastante tranquilo que nos gustaba mucho!
- Sofia (7/5): -
- Javier (10/5): Un Rincón Especial - Fue mi primera toma de contacto en Colombia y que maravilla comenzar aquí. Me sentí como en casa. He vuelto meses después para terminar aquí mi aventura de 85 días en Colombia. Ricky, Federico, Jorge, Andrés, Milton, Claudia, Laura, Camila, Isabella, gracias por tan buena bienvenida y abrirme las puertas a un rincón tan especial de Medellín. Super agradecido con todos.
- Tamara (10/5): -
- Kim (8/5): - Very chilled atmosphere feels like an oasis in the busy City. Great breakfast from the bowl café next door. Clean bathroom and common area. Could leave luggage until very late because we took a night bus. Staff was a bit rude during checkin and didnt explain us anything. Not a very social hostel no activities etc. Quite expensive but thats Medellin. Private Rooms have open holes in the ceiling towards the common area so no real privacy.
- Arnaldo (10/5): -
- Carmen (8/5): -
- Jorge (10/5): Espectacular - El aseo excelente, la atención maravillosa, todo el personal siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Y de la ubicación mejor imposible . Es un hostal tranquilo que invita a descansar Todo me pareció excelente
- Alan (6/5): Pleasant stay. Found better options for lower price. - Super relaxed place. The yard is really nice and peaceful and the hammocks are a nice touch. While I was there the hot water stopped working for two or three days but they did try and get it fixed asap. The owner informed me of this in advance. The breakfast they offer is a smoothie bowl in a nice cafe right outside the hostel(I think it’s called Betty’s) This is not the hostel’s fault but there were long term stays in my room. They insisted on keeping the dorm room door closed and the lights off even if you were in the room. This led to the room getting extremely hot and damp and it smelled really really bad. One night I turned the fan on and pointed it towards me so the smell would not be so bad and to not disturb anyone else but one of the long term stays woke up in the middle of the night and pulled the plug on the fan. I had to wake up in horrible smell and plug it back in. He did this 3 nights in a row. One of them also had alarms going off and snoozing them 6 times and both of them listened to their phones without headphones. Would have loved to stay longer here but all this made me leave earlier than planned. Secondly there’s rarely anyone at the reception and they have signs that reception will be open at such and such time. This was not a dealbreaker for me. There’s usually staff around to answer questions.
- olivero (10/5): - He estado en este hostal varias veces y cada vez me agrada más por lo siguiente: Limpieza impecable: Sin duda, es el hostal más limpio de toda Colombia. Calidad humana: Su staff siempre está dispuesto a ayudarte en todo. Un agradecimiento especial a Fede, Milton, Ricky y Bri por su atención. Desayuno de lujo: Desayunar en @bettysbowls es un nivel superior, y el café premium de la finca de Fede es simplemente espectacular. Entorno natural: Es un lugar rodeado de naturaleza, con un pequeño río que pasa cerca y donde te despierta el canto de los pájaros. Lo mejor es que está muy cerca de Provenza, pero lo suficientemente lejos del ruido para descansar. ¡Es perfecto! Admiro mucho al equipo de YOLO, gracias por todo." Nada, todo me encantó

- Catia (9/5): Medellin - L’hostel est très bien placé, proche d’El Poblado mais pas en plein centre, ce qui est idéal pour le calme. Le personnel était très sympa et bienveillant. Les espaces communs de l’auberge sont simples mais bien décorés, surtout le jardin extérieur. Et tout est très propre. La chambre est simple mais suffisamment confortable. Rien.
- Le Grand (8/5): Bien - Emplacement top pour se balader à El Poblado Beaux espaces communs Bien entretenu Big up au réceptionniste de nuit qui est adorable Ne pas avoir été prévenu que le four ne fonctionnait pas et il n’y pas de micro-onde non plus
- Marie (10/5): -
- martine (6/5): - l emplacement la gentillesse du personnel la chambre sombre et le bruit très fort de la rivière le prix à payer pour les serviettes le petit déjeuner
- Luisa (10/5): -
- Xabier (10/5): - Un oasis dentro del bullicio de La Provenza. Al estar pegado a un arroyo apenas se oye el bullicio del tráfico. Personal e instalaciones de 10. Un lugar para volver de nuevo!
- Martyna (4/5): Due to booking mix-up I ended up sleeping in common space not the dorm I booked and to add on staff wheren’t really nice -
- Daiane (7/5): Hostel bacana! - O atendimento dos funcionários é ótimo! A cozinha muito equipada tb!! Tudo sempre limpo no hostel! Tirando o café da manhã e o fato do quarto não ter uma janela por exemplo pra ventilar melhor, o resto é muito legal se vc tem um perfil de viajante mais jovem e comunicativo, que goste de festas. Eu não sou assim…Pra quem tb precisa se locomover pelo metrô, também não aconselho pq fica um pouco distante. Não é uma crítica em si, são mais informações que acho importante compartilhar.
- Jesus Maria (1/5): Tuve que abandonar el alojamiento - Está en el Poblado Tuve que abandonar el alojamiento la primera noche por dos motivos importantes, el primero el ruido tan fuerte de un río que pasa cerca del alojamiento y no me iba a permitir dormir y el segundo que quise darme una ducha pero al observar el sistema, tenía la toma de tierra desconectada, poniendo en grave riesgo a cualquier usuario.
- ARMANDO (7/5): Good location, cheap, but too basic. - Close to restaurants and nightlife. Secure and spacious. Facilities are ok. Shared restroom are average. Shared showers need some hangers and shelves. River produces white noise, good for relaxation during night. Exiting the building requires unlocking, it may be unsafe during an emergency. The room has no TV, no fan, and no table/desk. Showers need some shelves and hangers for clothes. No breakfast, no coffee. On arrival, there is no signal posted outside indicating the address nor the hostel name.
- Mitja (10/5): Great stay! - We had an amazing stay! I loved the facilities, the location and breakfast. Our room was cozy and not hot. I actually liked the sound of the creek.
- Veronique (10/5): Une auberge sympathique et propre dans un quartier agréable. - Excellente auberge, au calme. Propreté des espaces communs. Gentillesse du personnel. Le bowls Betty pour le petit déjeuner. Superbe excursion, à recommander, avec Frederico le propriétaire, à la Comuna 13. Rien
- edgar (7/5): Very pleasant stay overall, one of the better hostels I’ve been to. I’d gladly stay here again. - I had a great stay here! The owner was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. Breakfast was included and available all morning, which was a nice touch compared to other places. The rooms were clean, the atmosphere was good, and overall it was a pleasant experience — I even decided to extend my stay a couple more nights. There’s not much to complain about — overall everything was good. Toward the end of the day, the staff seemed a bit tired, which is understandable since they work hard keeping things clean and organized. Nothing major, just a small observation. The owner was great and the overall vibe was positive.
- Melanie (10/5): - It's a supernice place! Located in Poblado but with the nice backyard with hammocks and chillarea it's perfect to relax between the citychaos! Really recommend this place!
- Pieretti (10/5): Uno dei migliori ostelli in cui sia mai stata - La struttura é molto bella, molto silenzioso e tranquillo, colazione superlativa, staff molto simpatico e disponibile
- Elise (7/5): Séjour peu confortable - Personnel aidant pour mon arrivée tardive. Petit dej inclus Dortoir fort serré et peu confortable. On dort avec notre tête aux pieds de quelqu'un et mes pieds étaient à hauteur de la tête de quelqu'un d'autre... Bruyant Petit dej très minimal, pas de boisson inclus. J'ai été chercher qq chose d'autre à manger

- Louis (7/5): - Très bien placé. C'est une bonne solution pour être logé à bon marché dans Medellin et dans un quartier agréable. Après, ça reste du collectif et il y a pas de fontaine à eau !
- Karin (9/5): - Super Hostel . Sind zum zweiten Mal hier . Es gibt Warmwasser- Dusche was nicht immer üblich in Kolumbien ist 😁👍 Freundliches Personal
- Cortes (10/5): -
- ana luiza (8/5): - O hostel é bem localizado, tem tudo perto, desde supermercados até restaurantes e baladas. Os chuveiros são bons e quentes. A cozinha é grande e equipada. Não pode fumar dentro do hostel, apesar de eles terem um espaço de convivência aberto e amplo. O café da manhã é apenas uma tigela pequena com frutas, fornecida pela lanchonete que tem em frente ao hostel. Parece que são estabelecimentos parceiros. O café da manhã não tem pão, café ou ovos.
- Anna (8/5): -
- Anna (8/5): - The hostel is super super clean! Nice staff. Amazing breakfast, missed a coffee or tea tho. The private room is way overpriced for what it is. Loud location (loud river and music late in the morning) Toilets too far from private room. At night, you are wide awake from the distance to the toilet.
- Valeria (5/5): Regular - La ubicación el personal Muchos No permitidos - No fumar - No bañarse más de 5 minutos - No luces a la noche - Los baños están lejos y rotos son precarios . Pocos baños para tantos huéspedes

- audrey (8/5): Une belle auberge de jeunesse dans un super quartier - Très bon acceuil, personnel au petit soin. Très bien placé. Bon bowl pour le petit déjeuner. Chambre spacieuse. Il manquerait une boisson pour le petit déjeuner. Bruyant aux alentours car quartier animé mais n'a pas troublé notre sommeil mais bon à savoir. Odeurs d'humidité dans la chambre.
- Yann (9/5): -
- Julien (10/5): On revient quand vous voulez ! - Nous avons tout aimé dans cette auberge de jeunesse, l’emplacement, l’accueil, les petits déjeuners Spéciale dédicace à Ricky, le manager de l’hôtel, DJ le week end et notre guide dans Medellin Rien
- Laura (9/5): - The staff is amazing and very helpful. The hostel is super clean and the kitchen is one of the best equipped ones I came across in South American hostels. The breakfast bowl is delicious and it is easy to walk to bars, restaurants, public transport and salsa classes. I would definitely stay there again! The dormitory doesn’t have privacy curtains but also for the very affordable price of the stay, it was fine. Just a minor detail though :)
- Layla (9/5): Nice for a couple nights - Very clean facility. Super well equipped kitchen. Liked the hammocks and being able to chill in the courtyard. The breakfast included was also amazing!
- Theo (6/5): -
- Ricardo Duek (7/5): -
- julie (10/5): Au top - Auberge de jeunesse au top Très propre J’étais en chambre individuelle petite chambre bien Le personnel est très sympathique et m’a beaucoup aidé Rien
- Alejandro (9/5): Great spot in El Poblado - Very correct in every possible dimension: clean, well located, plenty of bathrooms, nice common areas, friendly staff, healthy fruit breakfast bowl included. No brainer
- Jennie (10/5): The Must Stay place in Medellin - Everything! I had a private room which was super comfortable. The place is located in a prime position for my Spanish classes and Dancefree salsa and bachatta dance classes and socials. I felt super safe wandering around at night. Its near the parties I couldn't hear them at night. All the staff are really helpful and friendly and indulged my Spanish even though some speak English including the owner who made me feel so at home I stayed even longer! The kitchen is fully equipped so very useful. Nothing.
- Enzo (9/5): Superb - Very tranquil location, friendly and helpful staff Exceptional breakfast bowl of fruit, oats and yogurt Lovely communal space Good location at the top of Poblado, near the heart of the area but away from the noise Not really negative comments but something to be aware of... There is a strong river flowing along side where the private rooms are. I slept fine but some people may find it loud. Noise cancelling headphones may be needed for some. Guests were nice but this isn't a social hostel, most people kept to themselves
- Amee (9/5): Superb - Hostel owner was very attentive and ensured fresh coffee was available with breakfast each morning. Delicious smoothie bowls for breakfast each morning. An amazing tour given by owner all around Medellín. All staff were very friendly and helpful Room was a little cold at night
- Jim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aaron (10/5): Exceptional -

- Lisa (8/5): Very good -
- Holly (8/5): Very good -
- Rosanna (9/5): Yolo Hostel was a fantastic place to stay and the owner was incredibly kind and helpful - Yolo Hostel was a fantastic place to stay. It truly felt like a second home. The accommodation was clean and simple, and the evenings were wonderfully quiet and peaceful—perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. The hostel is well-equipped with everything you might need, and the owner was incredibly kind and helpful. A special highlight was the breakfast and lunch spot right next to the hostel. We enjoyed the most delicious breakfasts there—highly recommended! Thank you for the wonderful experience!
- Hugo (10/5): Exceptional - The location is closed to areas that I visited The staff super friendly, they helped right away with a problem that I have with the people a sharing the room The showers they should put something to hang clothes and small shelves to put your stuffs like shampoo or soap
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
- Casey (8/5): Very good -
- Gun (8/5): Very good - Great staff always smiling and very helpful Showers mostly there ıs no hot water
- Sandra (9/5): Your homebase in Medellín - YOLO is a very chilled hostel, far enough from the hecticness of the tourist area but close enough to be there in a 3 minute walk. I liked the hammocks, amazing breakfast and coffee at Betty's and the staff were the best. Also, I did a river tour and the transformation city tour with Federico, which I highly recommend! I can't think of anything
- Ben (7/5): Good -
- Ingrid (9/5): Superb - Good place for this money Contacts for mobil was not correct
- Rodrigo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Damian (9/5): Superb - Very good location, the facility is also quite spacious and clean, the staff very helpful.
- Almanzar (9/5): Superb -
- Juliana (7/5): Good - It’s a nice place to meet international travelers and be around the night life in El Poblado. The staff is lovely, the breakfast is pretty good and the hostel is very clean all the time. Even though the breakfast is good it was the first time that I was in a hostel and had to pay for the coffee, as they just give you the food. Also it’s always the same breakfast, it doesn’t matter how many days you’re there. My room had no opened windows, so it was very claustrophobic inside of it. The location is good, but keep in mind that you’ll have to walk 30 minutes to get to the closest metro station.
- Matthew (9/5): Superb - Federico was incredibly helpful. I had a few issues with topping up my SIM card and checking in for my flight the following day and he helped me solve everything. Super friendly, outgoing and there to help you with anything you may need. Thank you Federico!
- Valencia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marino (10/5): Exceptional - Federico, the owner, is a very interesting person with an inspiring life story. He leads tours, try to take one if you can. But the facilities are great for the price and I had no issues.
- Valencia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Silvia (8/5): Great staff - The common area is fantastic—perfect for chilling out and meeting new people. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the staff were super friendly and ready to give you advices. Special shout-out to Aleja, who was incredibly sweet and always ready to help with anything you needed. The hostel is about a 20-minute walk from the metro. Also, there's no air conditioning in the dorms, just two fans that were on all night, blowing directly in my face even when it wasn't needed.
- Leila (10/5): Very much recommend this to anyone!! - We really loved staying here and even extended our stay. The staff is super friendly, they have a very good restaurant just outside and nice chilled courtyard which we really liked. Everything was cleaned several times a day. Top hostel! Nothing. But if you like to party its maybe not the place to go.:)
- Anas (10/5): Exceptional - Very good, quiet, clean, modern and chill. Everything went well, the breakfast offered was too good, the hotel is close to all the places in town and the area is very safe even at night. I really liked the relaxation areas offered by the hotel and the greenery
- Viktoriya (8/5): Very good - Location, atmosphere Too hot in the room, uncomfortable bed ( second floor, no socket near the bed
- Felipe (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is amazing. Starting from the people (owner, receptionist, cleaning lady), always welcome you with a big smile which makes you feel home. Garden is just an unique place. Very comfy. What's best? The coffee!!! Proper specialty coffee it's being served there.
- Donal (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice place to stay, the communal area is full of nature and sun, the breakfast at bettys in lovely and the staff out excellent. Shout out to Andrés.
- Kateryna (9/5): Superb -
- Margaux (9/5): Good place to relax, and chill out 👌 - The hostel overall is really nice, shared space is comfy (I spent a lot of time in these hamacs…) Staff is wonderful, always available to help you or answer your questions. Cool tours / activities proposed by the hostel (I did the Medellin transformation tour, which was incredible) There is no word to describe the fruit bowls served by Betty’s bowl restaurant. Definitely the best I have had so far 😍 Bedrooms could be better equipped. They are a bit frugal.. but the overall balance quality-price is still quite honest when I take a look to the price I have paid.
- Ina (8/5): Entspannung in der Stadt - Nice chill hostel with a good kitchen comfortable beds in the private and comfortable hammocks. When the restaurant is full, guests from there will take up the communal space without any notice. It’s at the far end of el poblado so you walk 30 mins from the metro or Uber
- Guntis (10/5): Spacious and green place! - Liked the relaxed atmosphere because of the plenty of space to sit, work or lie in hammocks, much green plants around. There is a yard inside and a terrace for dining in front of the hostel so you may choose your favourite place. Sleeping is comfortable and not noisy around. The hostel organises different tours and I chose the one telling about the difficult and violent past times of the Medellin and how the new regions are evolving nowadays and becoming artistic centres. Got good insights and understanding of the place so I recommend the tour! +loved a bawl of rresh fruits and musli for breakfast which was included! Nothing
- Letthelightradiate (10/5): Fabulous place to meet fellow travellers, friendly and all round awesome! - I checked in after midnight and this was no trouble for the receptionist, such a nice first impression and very welcoming. The hostel has a real 'homely vibe' with a fantastic chill out area, hammock area and bathrooms. There are excellent kitchen facilities and the large dining area was nice to hang out and meet fellow travellers. The outdoor space is very relaxing, brimming with plants and flowers! I loved it so much I stayed for one week! Excellent location too, close enough to the local bars etc but nice and quiet at night. Also Betty's bowls next door is also amazing and the staff there are super cool too! The weather, but that has nothing to do with YOLO Hostel! :)
- Grace (8/5): Very good -
- Yooseol (1/5): Don't believe the locker😡 - Don't believe the locker. I lost all my dollars. I think someone stole.
- Roy (9/5): Totally comfortable, but not outstanding facility. - Staff, especially Valentina and Andrés.
- Roman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andres (9/5): Superb -
- Alex (10/5): Friendly, great value and perfect location to experience Medellin - The price, and location in Poblado next to an amazing breakfast/brunch place is great. The owner/manager sorted me a room when I had to leave my previous hostel because of the noise. This one is much quieter than other ones in Poblado. Also hammocks to relax in. Staff are super friendly as well. Nothing
